Jeff King 13c44953fb quote: make sq_dequote_step() a public function
We provide a function for dequoting an entire string, as well as one for
handling a space-separated list of quoted strings. But there's no way
for a caller to parse a string like 'foo'='bar', even though it is easy
to generate one using sq_quote_buf() or similar.

Let's make the single-step function available to callers outside of
quote.c. Note that we do need to adjust its implementation slightly: it
insists on seeing whitespace between items, and we'd like to be more
flexible than that. Since it only has a single caller, we can move that
check (and slurping up any extra whitespace) into that caller.

* argument:
*
* sprintf(cmd, "foobar %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1))
*
* would be appropriate. If the system() is going to call ssh to

*
* sprintf(cmd, "git-diff-tree %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1));
* sprintf(rcmd, "ssh %s %s", sq_quote(host), sq_quote(cmd));
*
* Note that the above examples leak memory! Remember to free result from
* sq_quote() in a real application.
*
* sq_quote_buf() writes to an existing buffer of specified size; it
* will return the number of characters that would have been written
* excluding the final null regardless of the buffer size.
*
* sq_quotef() quotes the entire formatted string as a single result.
